Origin of the Bi Crescent Symbol
You may have seen this symbol around now and then as a symbol of bisexual pride. Have you ever wondered where it came from, though? Well, I did too - and what I could find was fascinating!
Much of this information was translated from German by @fallaciousfeline, thank you again!
The Bi Crescents originated as the logo for the German Bisexual Network, BiNe e.V, which was established in 1992. (I have found sources stating both 1992 and 1998 as the years in which the crescents were adopted)
It was originally designed by Vivian Wagner, and utilized the colours of the Gay Pride flag. Of this, Vivian said, “The rainbow colours of the crescents are intended that way. This is about solidarity with those that have HIV, and those that are afflicted by AIDS. It also serves as a symbol of our belongingness to the lesbian-bi-gay community.’”
The design itself comes from the interlinking of the Mars and Venus symbols, removal of the gender signifiers, and leaving them “open”:
Another goal of the design was to avoid the holocaust imagery found in the more common “biangle” and other triangular symbols associated with the LGBT community.
In more recent years, the symbol was redesigned utilizing the colours of Michael Page’s bisexual pride flag.
One interpretation of the “moon” like symbols that I’m extremely fond of is the idea that, like the moon, no matter what part you may be perceiving at one time, you’re still seeing part of something strong and whole.

Emergency crews are still trying to find victims of an earthquake and tsunami that struck Indonesia’s island of Sulawesi, killing at least 1,200 people, according to local media citing government officials.
The death toll could rise even higher, officials warn, as workers clear debris, rubble and vehicles that were swept away by a massive wave of seawater on Friday.
The tsunami was triggered by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck along the coastal district of Donggala on Friday. Most of the dead were found in nearby Palu, a city of nearly 300,000 where an onlooker took a video of the seawater raging ashore just after 5 p.m., local time.
Relief and rescue efforts have been hampered by communication and transportation problems in the stricken region. The damage caused landslides and forced Palu’s international airport to close for at least one full day.
